This is a marvelous post from Mother Nature Network. We all can simplify our lives and be easier on the earth. Our grandmother’s reused, reused and reused. They cooked from scratch, tended gardens and ate real food. I loved my grandparents grass-fed roast beef on Sundays, the marvelous cheese from their cows, and yes, those molasses cookies!
The chickens and the apple orchard were in the back yard. Real plates, cloth napkins, homemade food and family time were all we knew, and there was very little trash or waste.
